EXCURSION 70 OLD POINT.

Since the announcement In our last
issue Of the exceedingly low rate TO
Old Point and return for only 81,
quite an interest has been manifested
by many in the trip, and number
of additional names have been added
to the list. This is the finest oppor-
tunitY ever offered for trip over the
beautiful c. & o, road, and for vie
1t to dozen or more points Of inter-
est at very small cost. Below we
repeat the advantages for the benefit
of those who have not given the mat
tor careful consideration.
FrRsT-A trip over the finest scenic
route in the United States, which ter

The Election.

The election in the city yesterday
was the quietest general election held
for,years. The voting was light all day
and at noon only about $50 votes had
been polled. The indications when
we went to press,at 3 o'clock were that
not more than l200votes would be cast
in town against 100 last year. AT that
hour it was impossible to even guess
at the probable result, though the
relative strength Of the parties seemed
to be about as usual. Whisky Dem
ocrats scratched Young and he there
fore ran behind Buckner TO some ex-
tent.

Of the recent advance in dark tobac-
cos: "Prices will continue to advance

If the 1887 crop is only going to be a
one third average, the finest has TO

The Clarksville Tobacco Leaf OF
July Goth, says; "There is rumor
that the Burley operators will soon
take dark tobaccos in hand having
pushed Burleys to near the top. II
they do the advance Of the past month
will be more than doubled"
One Of the largest Western houses
comparing the reports of its large
correspondence says that the growing
crop has lost ten per cent in condi-
ton within the past month. This
would reduce the growing tobacco to
about 20 per cent, the lowest price II
! has ever rendered.

Carey With Lead.

Another homicide occurred in the
city nj 2:90 o'clock A. M, Sunday last
The parties involved In the fuss were
both colored and there was but one
eye witness to the affair so far as can
be learned. The man killed was
uamed Bob Carey and the slayer was
Park McC0mbs, the deaf aud dumb
driver of Cliborne's street sprinkler.
The row in appears began early in
the evening Saturday and the parties
had difficulty which was subse-
quently made up. Later Carey re-
newed II and drew knife but Nc
Combs had pistol and drew it Oh
Carey and he went off again. The
parties afterwards met for a third
time in tent ON 9th street and after
some angry gestures, words being Of
no avail in fuss with dumb man,
McCombs started off and, as he in
dictates by signs, was followed down
the street and grabbed around from
behind by Carey. He snatched loose
and began firing at him. The first
shot struck Carey in the arm and as
he ran the other four balls were fired
into his back. lie was taken first to
the court house and afterwards to the
house of some of his friends were he

about all the details that can be learn
ed at this writing. McCombs is in
jail and viii be tried before Judge
Winfree to-day. Mr.. j. E. Cliborne
has employed three lawyers to de-
fend McCombs and believes he has
good case of self-defense.

The name bible comes from the
Greek work Billion, meaning book
1t is also called the Scriptures, from
the Latin word Scripture, which means
writings.
The thirty-nine books of the Bible
were collected and arranged by Ezra
a learned Jewish high priest, who
lived $50 B. G.
The old Testament was originally
written in Hebrew, and was translated
into the Greek about $50 B. g. by
seventy persons chosen from the
twelve tribes, six from each, and so il
comes that it is called the Septuagint
/. e., the seventy.
The new Testament was translated
into English by one John Wickli6e
a clergyman Of the Church of Eng.
land in 1878; while a translation oil
the entire Bible was made by Mile:
Coverdale, Bishop of the English
mot the Romish) Church in 1885
just twelve years before the Book oil
Common Prayer was printed in the
English language.
